Absorption of energy at atom energy levels cause the line spectrum.


What causes specific lines to appear in a line spectrum?

There are a couple of things that cause specific lines to appear in a line spectrum. Two of these things are density and wavelength.

How do scientists use different spectra to figure out the composition of the stars outer layer?

Different chemical elements emit (or absorb) certain specific frequencies of light. When the light from a star is split in to it's rainbow spectrum of light, certain parts of the spectrum will be black (in absorption spectra) or brighter (in emission spectra). By comparing these lines to the known emission and absorption spectra of elements, the composition of a stars atmosphere can be determined.

Many catalogues of emission spectroscopy lines are published. These lines are not visible on all types of instruments.
